While gardening the other day, I chanced upon a large spider, a female with an egg sack, in the pot I planned to use. I had David move her to safety (and I moved away safely). I then wondered if there were many spiders printed on transferware. Here are a few.

| Maker unknown 6.6 inch tile features a large spider and web, ca, 1880. |
 |
| Minton Hollins & Co. (1868-1962) "Little Miss Muffit" 6.6 inch tile, ca. 1880. |
 |
| Baker, Bevans & Irwin (1814-1838) 10 inch plate "The Ladies of Llangollen." The border appears to have spider webs as part of the design. Perhaps I was just desperate to show you another spider pattern! |

I didn't find many spider patterns. Perhaps you have some to show me. Please! You might want to read about the wolf spider (see the link above). It's rather interesting. I have lived in California since 1971, and this is the first time I have seen one.
